It’s that time of the year again when families start prepping for the long drive to grandma’s house. One thing you might need to prepare for is transporting your car seat in the extended cab of your Silverado. Here’s a guide to help make sure your car seat will fit – and that you’re not risking injury if it doesn’t!
What is an Extended Cab Silverado?
Extended cabs are a popular choice for transporting large groups of people. They offer more space than regular cabs, and they’re also more comfortable. If you’re planning to transport your child in an extended cab, make sure their car seat will fit. Most car seats will fit in an extended cab, but there are a few exceptions.
If your car seat doesn’t have a locking mechanism, it may not fit in the extended cab. Car seats with a locking mechanism can be secured with straps or buckles. Make sure to ask the driver if your car seat has a locking mechanism before you leave the car.
Some car seats don’t fit well in the backseat of an extended cab because the space is limited. If this is the case for your car seat, you’ll need to find another option for transporting your child. Some parents choose to carry their child in their arms or use a stroller instead.
What are the differences between an Extended Cab Silverado and a Regular Cab Silverado?
The biggest difference between an Extended Cab Silverado and a Regular Cab Silverado is the length of the cab. An Extended Cab Silverado has an overall length of 188.6 inches, while a Regular Cab Silverado has a length of 178.1 inches. This extra length allows for more space in the cab, which is great if you need to transport large items or have multiple people riding with you. Additionally, an Extended Cab Silverado has a wider door opening than a Regular Cab Silverado, making it easier to get in and out of the vehicle.
How do I determine if my car seat will fit in an Extended Cab Silverado?
If you’re looking to transport your car seat in an Extended Cab Silverado, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure the car seat fits within the cab’s interior dimensions. Second, be sure the car seat’s manufacturer recommends using a car seat in an Extended Cab Silverado. If you have any questions about whether or not your car seat will fit in an Extended Cab Silverado, don’t hesitate to contact the vehicle’s manufacturer or the cab company where you plan on using the car seat.
Conclusion
If you’re considering bringing your car seat with you when traveling in an extended cab Silverado, keep in mind that the seat will not fit perfectly. The space between the back of the front seats and the car seat will be too narrow for it to fit properly, so you’ll need to either remove the car seat or adjust it so that it’s positioned further towards the middle of the cabin.
